We are pleased to announce a series of events leading up to the Metaverse Ethics Award 2025, where we will explore the ethical implications of the metaverse and AI through discussions and panels, and establish the criteria and standards for ethical excellence.

The events will bring together leading companies, visionary academics, policy makers, pioneering entrepreneurs and forward-thinking investors to tackle the most pressing challenges – from ground-breaking research to real-world commercialization. We will take an in-depth look at the ethical dimensions of merging the metaverse with artificial intelligence (AI).

On September 24, we will discuss the basic principles for the Metaverse Ethics Award in Brussels. We will discuss the various award categories in detail and the composition of the jury.
